aazebo

i have planned to visit thisplaceand by 1 pm. but restaurant was closed. i have asked restaurant person, why it's closed? he said, we open at 2 pm. if it is opening at 2 pm they should mention this on google as well.

due to that i went to some other place. this is all fault of management.

my monthly visit to my favourite restaurant. not saying my favourite arabian restaurant because aazebo is not exclusive to arabian cuisine anymore. the hyderabadi delicacies they have added to their menu over the years are better than those served at legendary hyderabadi restaurants.

following the slow-n-steady policy, aazebo take their sweet own time in expanding the menu. but whenever they add a new item, it is already at the crest of perfection, leaving no room for feedback on improving it. no wonder within a span of two years, they're ruling the class in tolichowki, a locality that is home to the highest number of arabian restaurants in the new city.

mutton margh: simply the best margh you can find in hyderabad and it has just gotten better with the recent addition of saffron.
price: 400 taste: 5/5

fish makhli: a crumb fried fish starter that you find at almost every modern cafe. this one at aazebo is a steal deal because besides being amazing in taste, the portion you get will easily match two portions at other restaurants.
price: 420 taste: 4/5

seekh kebab: not spicy like indian, not so bland like arabian. aazebo's seekh kebab is a balance between spicy and mild. the pure ghee aroma is another value add. however i like my seekh kebab spicy🔥
again, the biggest portion you can find anywhere in hyderabad.
price: 500 taste: 3.5/5

juicy mutton mandi: probably the biggest reason i can't resist visiting thisplaceevery few days. the level at which the mutton is cooked, perfect would be an understatement. you have to try it to believe it
price: 480 (full) taste: 5/5

madfoon mutton mandi: madfoon comes from the word dafan which means 'to bury'. mutton is burried in the ground to cook. so you can imagine the level of tenderness and the flavours that sink in. another masterpiece by aazebo.
price: 490 (full) taste: 4.5/5

fruit ka meetha: this is actually fruit trifle, hyderabad style. a brick of vanilla ice cream sits on a slab of sponge cake topped with dry fruits on a bed of custard full of fresh fruits and again dry fruits. i don't even need to describe what it tastes like. let the pictures do the talking!
price: 600 (full) 150 (single) taste: 5/5

ambience - 4/5

it’s a greatplaceto try authentic arabian mandi. the ambience was decent and service was good.
it’s definitely worth the money and experience.

tried the following dishes :
fish maqli - 3.5/5
sheek kabab - 4/5
mutton mandi - 4.5/5
fruit ka meetha - 4/5

middle eastern cuisine is increasingly influencing not just what, but also how we eat. whilst its dishes and tastes are becoming more widespread in the eastern world today, evidence suggests the dawn has already happened. eastern food culture has transformed in the last two decades— driven by factors including globalisation, changing lifestyles, health, wellbeing and sustainability. during this revolution, middle eastern cuisine has grown its presence in non-traditional markets dramatically—bringing rich, authentic dishes considered both flavoursome and healthy, to tables across the world.
hyderabad’s obsession with biryani is well known across the globe, but that's not the only rice and meat medley in the city that is worth raving about. to add up to the list, mandi has become an all-times favorite of many food joints. there are many in the twin neighborhoods who trace their progeny to hadramaut in yemen. and when are talking about mandi, aazebo isplaceyou should be for relishing on this dish in its truest format. to add up to the list of mandi variants, aazebo bring forth razbi laham with mazbi rice. basicaly, in this variant the lamb is slowly grilled & then cooked in special middle east spices with mutton stockto impart the much needed taste. onto the mazbi rice, its flavoured with black pepper corn in addition to the standard ones being utilized for mandi rice. topped with 2-4 big mutton chunks, this entire portion of mandi is something to look out for.
from the salad section, arabian salad & russian salad isn't to be missed at all, arabian variant having tomato, onions, cucumber tossed with pomegranate n chips, however russian salad takes the palate a notch up higher with veggies & fruits tossed in a creamy sauce making it more appetizing. aazebo spcl chicken & fish maqli deserve a special mention from the quick bites section owing to the flavourful meat in every morsel.
to wind up, umm ali is a great pick from the sweet section, a dish with roots from egypt which is a bread pudding with nuts & rasins mingled in condensed & normal milk - which is absolutely delicious. lastly, fruit ka meetha is a raving dessert at this place, basically an entire block of vanilla ice-cream placed on a bed of a thin slice of cake with loads and loads of dry fruits & cream; have it to believe it.

aazebo !
located right next to rto office tolichowki my very first visit to this branch of aazebo was delightful. aazebo has always been talk of the town for serving palatable mandi with authentic arabic style seating arrangements and well lit interiors thisplacesurely makes you feel comfortable and now that they've extended their seating capacity hyderabadi's can enjoy a lil extra than usual they also have a private dining room which can accommodate upto 40 people easily !! talking about the food now
russian salad - super creamy start to the meal with blanched veggies and exotic fruits with a dallop of mayonnaise !!!
arabian salad - quite refreshing and flavoursome! it had a crisp element in it and then exotic veggies along with some pomegranate seeds !!
fish maqli - i personally loved this starter the most ! basa fish marinated and coated well then deep fried to give the crispy from out and tender from inside texture !!
laham kebab - sheekh kebabs super moist and juicy with perfect balance of spices and when had with a slice of onion and a squeeze of lime it tasted heavenly!!
prawns - golden fried loose prawns served along with a salad ! prawns marinated in subtle yet flavourful batter then deep-fried to give the crispy texture!!
razbi laham with mazbi rice - here comes the star dish ! razbi laham with mazbi rice quite different from mandi as in this we get a lil extra spice with hints of pepper corn and rice is grainy and perfectly cooked with spices the duration of marination and cooking is different for razbi and mandi razbi is marinated for 8 hours and also it is a lil high on spice well a great choice for spice lovers !!
saudi champagne - much needed after a very delightful meal !! super refreshing !! a fizzy drink made of apple juice, orange juice, soda, wedges of sweet lime,apple and oranges topped with mint leaves !!!
umm ali - a warm and delectable dessert made of puff pastry,milk, pistachios, raisins and sugar well this ain't that sweet and people who prefer their desserts to be warm and mild sweet then this can be their go to dessert !!
fruit ka meetha - well i kid you not ! this had to be the showstopper !! i'm sure everyone's aware of this dessert served in every typical hyderabadi wedding and who doesn't love fruit ka meetha! aazebo is firstly known for serving the authentic mandi and then for the fruit ka meetha! a slab of icecream placed on a moist sponge cake topped with jam exotic fruits fresh cream and dry fruits well words fall short to describe this ! very eye appealing and i must say heavenly bliss !! do drop by to the nearest outlet of aazebo and try their amazing food to experience it yourself !!!!!

though a foreigner, the arabian mandi vanquishes its rivals from the royal banquets in hyderabad. aazebo, is always a safe bet to have mandi. what aazebo brings to the table for mandi lovers is quality and authenticity. they make their mandi super traditional and serve it with a bunch of sides.this particularplaceis pretty famous here in hyderabad as they have never compromised with their taste and quality. the ambiance will give you the perfect arabian vibe, from the arabian custom of seating on the floor with cushions and carpets and relishing the food till adequate lighting and interior to make the look and feel of theplaceperfect.
one will be greeted with an 'on the house' starter soup which is delish!
russian salad :: this is a creamy salad made out of finely cut boiled vegetables and some fruits mixed with mayonnaise!
arabic salad :: this authentic arabic salad is made with well-seasoned fried pita bread, seasonal vegetables and feta cheese
laham sheekh kebab :: prepared with minced mutton, onions and a blend of spices, this will blow your mind with extraordinary flavors, juicy minced mutton that melts away in your mouth.
fish maqli :: this arabic fish fry , made out of basa fish was an absolute delight, being crispy on the outside and soft juicy in the inside.
golden fried prawns:: among all the dishes, this deserves a special mention. it is a simple yet very luscious dish made with prawns marinated in a very simple battered paste and deep-fried until golden in color.
razbi laham with mazbi rice :: all the way from yemen,the difference between mazbi and mandi is that the meat in mazbi is grilled and not baked like it’s done for mandi and the rice is soft and more flavorful.
um ali :: this sweet dish is nothing, but an equivalent of bread pudding prepared with puff pastry rolls, milk, vanilla essence, sugar, nuts and raisins. this is for all those who like their desserts with mild sweetness.
fruit ka meetha :: the most loved dessert, that is usually served in hyderabadi dawats. brick of ice cream served over soft sponge cake, which is spread over a whole plate of heavy cream mixed with exotic fruits and dryfuits. an absolute delight!!!

we tried chicken wings and al faham mandi from thisplaceand i can proudly say that it is one of the best mandis i had in my life❤️🙌
chicken was so tender and rice were so flavourful it was amazing🤤
chicken wings were good but quantity wise it was averge but there mandis u have to try! will go next time to try more options from there menu🤤❤️🤩

omg.. how could i miss thisplaceuntil today.. theplaceis famous for its arabic cuisine. we tried mutton special mandi, mutton seekh kebab, rabdi n kunafa, and everything was just so perfect to my taste buds. without any doubt i could say, i had the best mandi till date, the seekh kebab was so well balanced in its tenderness, aroma n flavour, and kunafa just took me to a complete different realm.
completely satisfied n a huge recommendation to all those who love arabic cuisine.

(long overdue post- 2 months):

a good friend of mine (a keralite and coincidentally my roommate) grabbed a whopping offer, from cisco, and so his career in hyderabad was nearing its end.

before leaving for bangalore, we wanted, to try together, this so-called “mandi” (a yemeni rice that is offering stiff competition to the age-old hyderabadi pride -“biriyani”). and so we headed straight to the tolichowki branch.

though i had frequented, thisplaceover a dozen times before, “the kabsa rice”, was lately introduced then. what makes every rice dish of theirs, flavourful enough for a re-visit, purely lies in their secret sauce.

when i fished for feedback, he said ”it tastes comparatively different from, what we get in kerala. but i liked it.”

then i gleefully “glad that you liked it. ok then, let's head for a kunafa. it is just two blocks away”

when you crave for mandi and by chance when you are in tolichowki thisplaceserves on the best mandi in this area. as soon as i got here before the menu was given to be i was served a complimentary soup to start with which i actually enjoyed very much. my order was for juicy mutton mandi and i specifically asked for the shank piece which i got. along with that i ordered fish with it which actually could have been better taste wise as i have had much better versions. the mutton was sooooo tender that it was falling off the bone without any resistance, the rice fluffy and nice in taste with the exact amount of spice and smokiness. it was served hot to us so plus points for that. the ambience is okay but the food is the main star here. they also serve full goat mandi on request and do catering as well kindly check the pictures for further info.

mandi at its best at tolichowki.
my most favourite item at thisplaceis the fruit ka meetha which is served with a full slab of icecream on top of it. they also have considerably good mandis.
however, the starters didn't give me a good feeling as i felt it had excess of colors. anyway, it is a considerableplaceto visit to fulfill your mandi cravings as it's decent enough for mandi.

after hearing so much about hyderabad crowd's latest mandi favorite, we all landed here for a late family lunch. theplaceis done up beautifully with pretty lighting and carpeting and i really liked that everything looked clean and hygienic, unlike a few other mandi places that tend to have great food but grubby-looking carpets and seating. the family dining section on the second floor is really spacious and can easily fit in several customers even during peak time rush hour.


we ordered the all mix mandi and the mutton matfoon and i found everything extremely yummy and tasty. portion sizes were also generous as any mandi plate is supposed to be and the meat served was also enough to feed the dozen family members present. the rice was seasoned well and was adjusted to be a tad bit spicier than the the original mandi, probably to accommodate the spicy hyderabadi palate.

the mutton in the mutton matfoon mandi was this gorgeous gunk of meat that was so beautifully spiced and was melting in its own wrapped gravy and we all thoroughly lapped it all up happily. i am just taking a star away because i would've like the rice also to be a bit less dry, considering the meats in the rice were so soft and succulent. i'll definitely edit my review if there is an improvement next time i visit.

the star of the show obviously has to the famous ice cream fruit dessert that has so conspicuously invaded hyderabadi weddings and was once only an acclaimed wedding speciality. aazebo has now brought it to your table, quite accessible on their menu. the quantity was well enough to feed the whole family and if we hadn't stuffed ourselves do much with the mutton matfoon, we'd definitely have ordered a second helping.


all in all, a lovelyplaceto go with large group and family and enjoy a heart meal filled with amazing tastes and varieties. definitely gonna be back.

the grand

thisplaceis filled with cockroaches everywhere.

visited aazebo tolichowki last weekend with friends for lunch.

theplacereally gives a vibe of arabian culture. with separate cabinates and floor seating, theplacelooks really vibrant and beautiful.

coming to food. we tasted a lot of dishes, and their specials from the menu.

we started off with marag. it was really good. the mutton was so well cooked that the flesh just fell apart from the bone. next we tried faham chicken. this was fried chicken tossed in arabian sauce. very good in taste. we also tried fish, that was good but lacked some flavours. could be more flavourful. next we tried their special platter, that had different varieties of chicken, mutton seekh and fish. this was really like the one you get in weddings and we really had a good time feasting on it, giggling and laughing.

next we tried their mutton special mandi. it did have flavours but lacked little in taste. the mutton pieces, both the tandoori and juicy one were well cooked, but i felt that the rice could have been little more flavourful.

to end the meal we tried fruit ka meetha and baklava. both were really good. overall an amazing experience.

located in towlichowki, aazebo is a must visitplacefor mandi lovers. with arabic style sitting, aazebo serves delicious platters at decent prices.
i personally loved their sitting pattern.
coming to food, we started our meal with - marag with naan, it is definitely a must try. aazebo serves the best marag in town without any doubt.
then we had grilled basa fish fry, again this is another must try here. (super soft and full of flavours).
another starter i loved their was aazebo special faham chicken, it was served with pita bread and was really delicious.
for the mains, we had their special mandi, which was again one the best in town.
coming to my fav part of the meal, desserts, they have really good options, making it difficult of choose one.
they serve baklava, basbousa and their damm yummy fruit ka meetha.
definitely recommended.
